A
compassionate guide to the experience of loss as an essential growth
process.

In Good
Grief professional grief educator Deborah Morris Coryell
describes grief as the experience of not having anywhere to place our
love, of losing a connection, an outlet for our emotion. To heal grief
we have to learn how to continue to love in the face of loss.

In this compassionate guide, Coryell gives inspiring examples of how
embracing our losses allows us to awaken our most profound connections
to other people. Though our society tends to rank losses in a
“hierarchy of grief,” she reminds us that all
losses must be grieved in their own right and on their own terms, and
that we must honor the “small” losses as well as
the “big” ones. Paying attention to even the most
minute experiences of loss can help us to be more in tune with our
responses to the greater ones, allowing us to once again become part of
the rhythm of life from which we have become disconnected. This 10th
anniversary edition includes a 60-minute CD of the author reading
select passages from the text.
